Super easy to make, this easy breakfast recipe or snack recipe needs no grinding or fermenting, and comes together in 30 minutes, with only 5-7 minutes of active cooking time. I made this rava idli recipe in my electric pressure cooker, Instant Pot, using my newest kitchen toy, Silicone Molds. These molds work great for a variety of recipes including, eggs-bites, mini lava cakes and more. I love it when a kitchen accessory can be used for multiple recipes!
Kids Love it:
I mix in some frozen corn, frozen peas, chopped carrots, and chopped cashews into the idli mix, to give the idlis a bite and bump up their nutritional content. This combination and small size of each idli makes it a great snack or school lunch option for kids.
Serving suggestion for Rava Idli:
Rava Idli can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch or snack. In my house, we each have a different ‘favorite’ condiment to enjoy it with. We have it with ginger chutney, coconut chutney, cilantro-mint chutney, and ketchup… yes, ketchup:-)

Poha: Another Indian Breakfast Recipe
Another easy Indian breakfast recipe with my kids is “poha”. Poha, which is made with flattened dry rice and is popular in many places in North India. Check out my vegetarian instant pot poha recipe, in which I substituted flattened rice (poha) with Quinoa. Quinoa adds protein and fiber to this already nutritious dish, and is gluten-free.
